Pick one...

A.) Jimmy Stewart , the (dead American) actor's father and my grandfather were first cousins. What's that make us..?

(Accidental fame?)

B.) I tore the engine off a Pontiac ambulance, right up to the firewall, on my learners' permit.

(Famously stupid?)

C.) I once helped a rookie cop disarm a suicidal drunk armed with a .357... the cop and I kept him talking, I distracted him for a second, the cop grabbed the gun hand and I picked the rest of the li'l vugger up by his throat and slammed him into a building.
Later my buds asked if I wasn't scared of gettin' shot - it never occurred to me. I just was there.
